Saturday Surf Session

So, this Saturday the 23rd I didn't actually go surfing.

I don't think my surgery is ready for the twisting and stress on my abdomen that surfing requires.

Instead, I went for a bicycle ride.  I busted out my Specialized Allez and rode The Los Coyotes River Trail down to The PCH and bombed down to Huntington Beach and back.  It was a great ride and a beautiful day.

Just FYI to all the hard-core roadies, I didn't have my aerobars on.  This is an older picture from a triathlon called Race on the Base.

 I ended up doing 29 miles in about one hour and 45 minutes.  You can check out my Strava details here.



My whopping 381 feet of elevation gain!  That's the major thing I dislike about my immediate location.  All the riding around here is FLAT!!  I can go "north", which is really east of here and get into hills at about mile 15.  Then it really picks up, but the first 15 miles are SO BORING that it's tough to motivate that way sometimes.

It's good to be sort-of back to training!
